Casey Anthony: Not guilty of murder.

[Navi]

Today, just less than an hour or so actually, Casey is not guilty of murdering her daughter, Caylee.

She was on trial for these charges:
Murder in the 1st Degree- NOT GUILTY
Aggravated Child Abuse - NOT GUILTY
Aggravated Manslaughter - NOT GUILTY
Providing False Information to a Law Enforcement Officer (x4) - GUILTY

I'm tired of it, and I'm happy that this won't be on TV much anymore, so hopefully we all can resume our normal lives and stuff. :P
Did you follow the story since the beginning? What are your thoughts on the verdict? What else do you have to say?

I honestly thought she was guilty. Mainly because she partied and spent time with her boyfriend for 31 days and never reported her daughter missing. I am really disappointed.

[Dog Desab]

I was watching it. Didn't follow it from the beginning but saw the end so it's all good. I still go by what I said before and that is that the mom was a dumb piece of shit. Though I agree with the verdict. She is still dumb for not reporting her daughter missing after 31 days.

[Rainstorm]

She honestly didn't give a damn about her daughter, that much was clear.

However, there wasn't enough evidence to warrant a guilty conviction. Also, if you are going to have the possibility of the death penalty, the state needs a substantial amount of evidence siding with them. They didn't have that here and that's why I partially think she was acquitted.

[Iron Man]

This jury is the dumbest collection of people I have ever heard of (next to the Westboro Baptist Church)

And Casey, why would you go over a month without looking for your missing daughter? Fucking incompetents these days.

that's a ridiculous statement. there is more than a reasonable doubt that she is guilty given significant holes in prosecution's evidence, and if there is any reasonable doubt, a not guilty verdict is absolutely proper and correct.

the justice system doesn't exist to determine probable or absolute truth. this verdict was correct.

and now i can happily go back to not caring.

[Tristin.]

who is casey anthony?

Alright, I fixed them (hopefully it worked). Thanks for letting me know about that.

[TravM]

Justice was served. She can't be considered guilty. That's pretty much all we know and what we should go by to put it bluntly.

[-Silence]

They better put her ass in protective custody because she is gonna get killed.

[Stronger]

How she didnt get guilty is beyond me; I've followed most of it and pretty pissed that her ass in in prison for life or on death row. Not reporting it for a month? Partying? Searching of the word Chloraform(did I spell tht right?) 40+ times I think. She is just lucky they didnt find the little girl in time or else who knows what would have happened. and on top of that she accused her father and brother of sexual misconduct?(touching? idk) she will have fun confronting them

~Just my two cents~

[UnknownError]

I'm guessing this is an American news thing?

[SosbanFach]

No, the BBC have mentioned it, but they're generally too busy reporting on the News of the World phone hacking allegations.

[aleexax3]

she should be guilty just because a horrible life doesnt mean you should kill especially a child that you brought to life first of all you should have never had a kid and the 10 commandments number 6 say thou shall not kill girl you shuld be guilty

This is just not right. I have a strong dislike towards the jury members for their choice, because they didn't get justice for an innocent 2 year old.

The evidence was hard to provide for the prosecution, thus giving the jury an uncertainty in the conviction. You can't blame the jury or the prosecution, the lack of evidence is what ultimately led to the jury's decision.

so, hypothetically, even if we assumed that retributive killing of this woman is justice (which in the sense of prevention/rehabilitation it seems unlikely to be, which means at best we assume pure retribution is a just motive)... do you think the dead girl particularly cares what happens? there's no justice for the dead. they're dead.

[Hershey's Kisses]

I would love to have this evil women killed.

[MilitemDilectam]

Unfortunately, if there is not enough evidence..then there is no guilt..
She should have her tubes tied though..

[Vonn]

It's not enough that her life is fucked now, guilty or not?

That is the most creepiest face ever, lmao :eek::eek:

[Jess]

I would have thought she would be at least charged for child neglect, right? not calling the police for 31 days! What did the defense say about that?

What a piece of shit.

Anyway, she's not guilty. It was the right verdict; there wasn't concrete evidence. Too bad. This isn't a repeat of O.J. As for the soccer moms who keep bitching about it, get the fuck over it.

I'm tired of hearing all this shit from people like Nancy Grace about getting "justice for Caylee". What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Sending a person to prison, or executing them, without substantial evidence is anything but "justice". The sheer ignorance of the sheep-like public of this country is just astounding. The fact that so many people would happily convict someone of murder on shaky prosecution charges, beyond a reasonable doubt, shows why the judicial system is constructed the way it is – so we don't revert to some medieval country where the general public plays the jury.

what about the fact she didn't report her daughter missing during the 31 days? She partied during those days! shouldn't she be charged for child neglect? What did the defense say about THAT?

While I don't know what the defense said about the 31-day gap, I do know that at the time there was no law on the books in Florida requiring a parent to submit a missing child report in a given amount of time. In addition, she wasn't tried on charges of child neglect, but rather aggravated child abuse, which is a distinctly different charge.

The point is, that missing persons report thing in itself isn't conclusive evidence that she killed her daughter, it just shows that she could have neglected her daughter – but you'd need more evidence than the 31-day gap to convict her of that.

[Evan-9]

I was very dissapointed with the verdict... Sadly, if you look at the prosecution, they did not do a very good job. I did and still think she killed her daughter but in the eyes of our justice system she is not guilty and free to walk. And we cant fix that.
